Making your new person searchable in cast and crew
Some tips on making your new person searchable in cast and crew for adding purposes.

If you're going to add the person to a lot of shows, consider adding them first to the show-level cast list. Save yourself a lot of trouble.
Put in just the first name.
Put in just the last name.
Put two spaces between the first name and last name.
Search for the name asian style. That's right. Put lastname and then firstname.
Put in some aliases for the person.
Add some tags that can be picked up by the person. In your search field add a tag and see what happens (e.g. Hyde jpop)
Add a bio and other trivia for the person.
Do a bunch of regular searches for the person.
If you have that Boost Me tag, use it.

Any other ideas? Let us know.

When all of the permutations in the search field, suggested above, didn't work, I had some success with putting a dash between the first and the last name or between the last and the first name (e.g. Roger-Moore or Moore-Roger).

Some of the more recent names added have not made it to search, even with the above tricks. Not sure what to do except alert staff and try to add tags?
